Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Impacts of food insecurity (IFIAS) on maternal and infant health indicators (i.e. changes in body composition, hemoglobin, morbidity, etc.) among lactating women of mixed-HIV status and their infants in Gulu, Uganda	Explore the underlying mechanisms and impacts of food insecurity (using the Individual Food Insecurity Access Scale (IFIAS)) on body composition changes (weight in kg, bioelectrical impedance analysis (among women), skin folds, MUAC), morbidity (malaria, diagnoses or symptoms of fever, typhoid, diarrhea, etc.), micronutrient status (hemoglobin), and other health indicators among women of mixed-HIV status and their infants in Gulu, Uganda.	Approximately 1 year
Secondary	Impacts of food insecurity (IFIAS) and maternal depression (CES-D) on maternal folate levels among women of mixed-HIV status in Gulu, Uganda.	Describe the relationship between food insecurity (IFIAS) and maternal depression (CES-D) on maternal folate levels and assess if these relationships are modified by maternal HIV status.	Approximately 1 year
Secondary	Impacts of food insecurity (IFIAS) and maternal depression (CES-D) on maternal B12 levels among women of mixed-HIV status in Gulu, Uganda.	Describe the relationship between food insecurity (IFIAS) and maternal depression (CES-D) on maternal B12 levels and assess if this relationship is modified by HIV status.	Approximately 1 year
Secondary	Impacts of food insecurity (IFIAS) and maternal depression (CESD) on infant feeding among women of mixed-HIV status in Gulu, Uganda	Explore the impacts of food insecurity (IFIAS) and maternal depression (CESD) on infant feeding (breastfeeding, introduction of complimentary foods, infant dietary diversity).	Approximately 1 year
Secondary	Changes in food insecurity (IFIAS) within the first year of delivery among women of mixed-HIV status in Gulu, Uganda	Measure changes in the prevalence and severity of food insecurity from delivery to approximately 1 year postpartum among women of mixed-HIV status in Gulu, Uganda.	Approximately 1 year
